I am using SQL Server Management Studio to run a script on SQL Server 2008.
Following simple statement throws error “Incorrect syntax near ‘:'”.
:setvar DatabaseName "USHR1.2"
Curious, what’s going on here. Appreciate your help!
OK.. it was simple. Enabling the “SQLCMD Mode” from the SSMS menu solved the error. Thanks everyone for your replies.
I guess, there are tons of such “Incorrect syntax near ‘x'” errors reported on stackoverflow. Guess, those will go away with this fix.
